This is a tracking category for CS1 citations that have |param-link= errors.
- Check
|value<param>-link= - Check
|value<param>=
These link-holding parameters and their matching title-/name-holding parameters are combined to create a working wikilink to a related article.
| Link-holding parameter | title-/name-holding parameter(s) |
|---|---|
|author-link=† |
|author=, |last=, |last= + |first=
|
|contributor-link=† |
|contributor=, |contributor-last=, |contributor-last= + |contributor-first=

This error occurs when any of these |<param>-link= parameters contain a wikilink or a URL, or they contain any of the characters not permitted in Wikipedia article titles per WP:TITLESPECIALCHARACTERS (except _ (underscore), used as a replacement for spaces, and #, used as a fragment identifier when linking to article sections). The prohibited characters are: < > [ ] | { }.
The |<param>-link= parameter value should contain only the title of a Wikipedia article or a link to a section of a Wikipedia article. Module:Citation/CS1 checks the |<param>-link= parameter values for wikimarkup and for a URI scheme (http://, https://, the protocol relative scheme //, etc.). Interlanguage links in any of the |<param>-link= parameters require a leading colon:
:fr:Période d'exil de Caravage
While primarily intended to catch the errors mentioned above, Module:Citation/CS1 will also catch malformed interlanguage wikilinks wherever they occur. Interlanguage wikilinks that have the form:
[[fr:Période d'exil de Caravage]]
do not create visible clickable links in the article text. Instead, these links appear in the left pane in the languages list. Module:Citation/CS1 disables interlanguage links in this form and emits an error message. The correct form is:
[[:fr:Période d'exil de Caravage]]
This error can also be caused when:
- there is a
|<param>-link=value and the matching|<param>=parameter contains a wikilink. |first=and|<param>-first=(and enumerated forms) contain a wikilink
To resolve this error, do one of the following:
- Ensure that the
|<param>-link=value is the full name of a Wikipedia article (without brackets) or a section of an article, and not a link to an external web site. - Make sure that there are no wikilinks in the matching
|<param>=parameters. - If you want to link to a URL outside of Wikipedia, move the link to
|url=or a similar parameter, if one is available in the template you are using.
Pages with this error are automatically placed in Category:CS1 errors: parameter link.[a]
